STEVEN UNIVERSE 2 - GAME OVER

[Klingoncelt]

Straight up.

If your hood's not 100 pages long you're not doing it right.

You're in a 'Hood?

[mastin2]

Hey, Klingoncelt.
You're at L-1.
Mind claiming?

[grapes]

Mastin let's ally.

[mastin2]

Klingoncelt, my trigger finger is itching...
I do hammer unprompted, too!

[Reasonably Rational]

Something lacking in substance is NAI Cerby?

@NC, can you tell me your reads and why?

~VeggieWoman

Thr answers themselves weren't very informative, but they were reasonable answers to give. I didn't learn anything about his objectives which hadn't already been made clear in the thread, so yes, NAI. Had he given answers like these to a more significant question/were it later in the game it might be more meaningful, but at this stage I find it a reasonable, though not particular difficult to fake, line to take.

how much substance could one even have when talking about a short question? and how did you get not a single bit of information after those questions? you even said it wasn't playstyle indicative, even though i'd noted my preference for both high-content posters and an ally i thought was town. (you, as an example, were looking to ally with players to 'sort' them, and i imagine others are as well) that isn't information?

OBK: i don't have very many, besides Firebringer and grapes being town. McMenno is strange, and Rational was a townread that has lapsed into something closer to null. i'd have to look back at their posts for why i noted down those reads, but i'm tired and i don't want to do work right now.

The playstyle knowledge already existed in the thread. You repeating it here doesn't magically change the origin of that information to be this line of questioning, it just means you're being consistent in your responses and reasoning.

I didn't expect a lot of substance, but I DID hope for something more than "I wanna ally with people who will be active, and I didn't think asking you outright would give me answers I'd care about, but I can't really tell you what sort of answers I would have cared about."

-Cerb

Pedit: oh hey mastin2 came back. Do you still want my response to your earlier questioning?

[mastin2]

Pedit: oh hey mastin2 came back. Do you still want my response to your earlier questioning?

Very much so, yes.

[grapes]

Klingon is scum.

Obiwan is scum.

RR might be scum.

Chara could be scum.

And there's 8 people who need to get vig'd already.

[grapes]

Okay maybe not 8.

[Reasonably Rational]

Mastin has a proven record of being way above average at reading people. Sorry that she pegged you as scum, but so far you kind of look like scum trying to get town read. If you're not, maybe that should tell you something and you should adjust.

Hey, Cerb. I know this is a Drixx post, he can answer it too, it's applicable both ways, but Cerb knows this better overall.

Question time.

Why do you say this about Firebringer, who I noted as "scum?", with a question mark for good reason...

...While ignoring the one and only player I had marked as unambiguously, without any interrogation-mark attached, "scum."?

That is, why are you saying this about a read I'm not sure of...

...While not paying attention to the much, much, MUCH more notworthy read I have on Not Chara?

And!
Furthermore.

You're a smart guy and I can't hold context worth a damn. So if you haven't already figured this out, you would soon enough.
You know about my accuracy reading you.

And yet, I'm

not

townreading you.

Why am I not townreading you?
It's certainly not a question of quantity! You're among the highest post counts in the game. Why is it that the quality of those posts has not given me the impression you're town?
Why is it that you look like scum?

And furthermore! Why is it that Not Chara looks like the most obvious scumbuddy of yours in all of time?

It won't be satisfying! I don't know any reason why Drixx would be selectively responding to your posting, beyond the fact that your commentary was relevant to his ongoing interactions with one slot rather than another. If he had been systematically responding to you, as any alignment, he would have done so in a clear and cogent fashion. The fact that he picked out just one thing to respond to makes it far more likely that the point he noted was relevant to his current argument, than that he was avoiding the commentary on Not Chara.

Regarding your read on me based on my early game posting: If I had to give any reason, it's probably because my posting so far has been quite clinical, with the exception of the first sentence of my first post. It feels contrived and designed to you, rather than flowing organically, like I'm just going through the motions...and that's because I kinda am. There's scumhunting to be done here, sure, but you know the majority of my early game play is largely mechanical discussion oriented...and in this game there really isn't much to discuss that's publicly known, so I'm just asking people about alliance stuff since there's nothing else to talk about.

-Cerb

[grapes]

RR's back to townish there's something from them earlier I just remembered that I liked.

scumpool is obi/kling/kraska/cakes rn

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

What was that?

[grapes]

SC, Obi-Wan: Neither of you responded to my very selective ally invitation.

-Cerb

Dear people that are voting,

You can't actually vote.

With regards,
Shiro.

And why did that gather a townread? To me, it set off alarm bells of buddying.

[grapes]

I think you could spin buddying to the initial post but the mindset of wondering why you didn't respond to him felt town.

Who's scum titus?

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

Who's scum titus?

Dunno yet. I am looking for aberrations in how players deal with me. Those who put me on a pedestal or malign me are going to catch my eye. I try to ignore budding early but it's definitely something I will discuss with beeboy. No one's said anything extremely inconsistent right now, so I don't feel extremely comfortable calling anyone scum.

I feel Mastina is really town though.

The closest thing I have to a scumread right now is klingon.

[Klingoncelt]

Note to self: Mastin can't read players.

Actually she's pretty good at reading players. Not 100%, no one is, but better than 50% at gamestart.

[Klingoncelt]

I'm not sure about Mastin's Miller-like claim though. The way my Role PM's worded, I'm pretty sure that

I'm

the Miller.

[Reasonably Rational]

Mastin, KC: Both of your town/miller things you're talking about, these points are due to mechanical points in your PM's, NOT flavor stuff, correct? I ask because there are a number of characters from the show who would be reasonable as millers, and as such their flavor could easily give you that impression without mechanical effects.

-Cerb

[Reasonably Rational]

Actually I'm really dumb.

Don't answer the above. I'll just assume it's mechanical. The pool of potential millers, flavor wise, is pretty small, so let's not clarify that.

-Cerb

[Klingoncelt]

Hey, Klingoncelt.
You're at L-1.
Mind claiming?

Yeah, I'd claim at L-1.

Klingoncelt, my trigger finger is itching...
I do hammer unprompted, too!

You want to ally with me, don't you.

Just make sure not to hammer until late at night when I'm more likely to be online.

-Cerb

No, really, I'm a Miller.

[Klingoncelt]
